Song of Greeting. 

BY MISS ALICE M. GUERNSEY, CLASS OF JULY, '70. 



Thrice the autumn glow has faded ; 
Thrice has rung the New Year chime ; 
Thrice the May. in bloom and beauty, 
Whispered of the summer time. 
At the year's full, fervid noontide. 
In the dear old haunts of peace, 
For a time, from sterner duties 
Welcoming a glad release, 



Alma Mater ! Loving motlier ! 
Lo ! thy scattered children come, 
Bringing words of filial greeting, 
Looking for a welcome home. 
We have wandered from the hearthstone 
Some have wandered far and long ; 
Yet in memory lingers ever 
Snatches of its vesper song. 



Eound us still the life-waves surging. 
Bear us o'er a restless sea ; 
Come there storms or come there sunshine. 
Fondly, yet, we'll cling to thee. 
Till for us the waves no longer 
Break in ripples on the shore ; 
Till the jnctures we have cherished, 
Fade, to brighten nevermore.

Song of Greeting. 



BY MKS. MARY 0. SMITH, CLASS OF JANUARY, '(58. 



From scenes of our schooldays, howe'er we may 

stray, 
To tliee. Alma Mater, return we to-day. 
We gather in gladness! We come at thy call 
To greet thee. Our Mother, so dear to us all. 

Alma Mater, dear ! 
To greet thee, Our Mother, so dear to us all. 

Tis years since we left thee, to go our own way ; 
The dark locks of many are sprinkled with gray ; 
Yet deej) in the shadow, the sweet flowers may 

hlow. 
So love to thee, Mother, 'ueath life's cares will 

glow. 

Alma ISIater, dear ! 
So love to thee, Mother, 'neath life's cares will 

glow. 



We left thee, rejoicing and eager to go ; 
We longed in life's battle to conquer each foe 
Thy counsel has strengthened when dark was 

the way ; 
We come for fresh guidance and wisdom to-day, 

Alma Mater, dear ; 
We come for fresh guidance and wisdom to-day 

We thank thee for all thou hast done in the 

past ; 
May the love of thy children reward thee at 

last ! 
And will the Good Father look down from above 
To shield and protect iu his wonderful love 

Alma Mater, dear ; 
To shield and protect in his wonderful love.

Song.

V>K with us, Father, as we meet 

In glad reunion here, 
Let fall Thy benediction sweet. 

As heart to heart draws near. 
A band of toikns, lo, \\o come 

With weary ],il-rim feet, 
Some from life's shadowy places 

Faint fronr the noontide heat. 



In this blest hour, so richly fraught, 

Sad Memory entrance craves ; 
As hand clasps hand, we turn in the 

To far-off, grass-grown graves. 
And yet the parting veil we know 

Is ordered by Thy love, — 
We strive to do Thy will below, 

They work Thy Avill above. 



light 



Strong in Thy strength, Lord, may we stand 

And S(jw good seed, nor cease. 
Though fruitless seem our toil ; Thy hand 

Shall doubtless give increase. 
Help us to live our lives aright, 

Console each heart that grieves. 
And may we all come home at night 

Rejoicing, bringing sheaves.

Parting Song. 

BY MISS ETjLA G. page, CLASS OF JULY, 'd.'?. 



Now we must part, this long, bright day 

We've been at school once more, 
Wise lessons learned, laughed time aM'aj', 

Light lieartcd as of yore. 
And tbdiigh f(ir many a Afell-knowli face 

We look and long in vain. 
Fond memory gives to all a ])lace. 

Thence greet they us again. 



Good-bye, our song is saddened now, 

But ringing through it still 
Are strains of sweetness, clear and low. 

Peace, friendship, love, good-will. 
We part, and years may roll aM"ay 

Ere we shall meet again ; 
To all may life be bright, each day 

Bring blessing, e'en in pain.
